Brewery Tap.

Originally opened in 2013, the brewery stands in the shadow of the ruins of Whitby Abbey, overlooking the North Sea, and away from the hustle and bustle of the town.

Run by four enthusiastic brewers, a selection of Whitby Brewery's beers are on handpull together with a bottle shop, and whereas the customer experience is still evolving, the beers are certainly the finished product.

You can park your car close by in the Abbey car park, where charges apply, but it is also well worth climbing the 199 Abbey steps to get to the brewery. During summer the brewery and tap can also be accessed using the Whitby Town Tour Bus.

Drinkers imbibe sat next to the liquor tank, mash tun and copper, or drink in the pleasant outdoor courtyard. There is also a stage for live music and a pizza oven.

Four handpumps, serve a selection of Whitby's seven beers, as well as the brewery's own lager. The seasonal Santa's Tackle is conditioned in rum casks.

An element of mis-leading dispense has been suggested. The real ale casks are at some distance from the bar, with the beers being helped along by a purpose-built pumping system to the 'handpumps' on the bar. The system used is called Flojet

Brewery tours are available, with tastings of the brewery's beers, but must be pre-booked.

Check winter opening hours.

Card payments only please.
